Flourless Sweet Potato Brownies
Imagine the perfect brownie. Warm and fudgy with crispy corners and chunks of melted chocolate. THAT is what you get when you make these flourless sweet potato brownies.
Servings: 12 brownies
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup sweet potato cooked and mashed (about 1 medium sweet potato)
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 + ½ tablespoon coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- 1 egg
Dry Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup oat flour
Optional (but highly recommended)
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup walnuts chopped
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- In a large bowl combine sweet potato, vanilla, maple syrup, egg, peanut butter and coconut oil
- In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Once combined slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring well.
- Once a batter has formed, add in the mix-ins you have chosen to add (chocolate, walnuts, marshmallows etc.)
- Pour batter into a prepared 8x8 baking pan (I like to add additional mix-ins on top here as well!)
- Bake for about 22-28 minutes or until the top begins to brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle of the brownie pan comes out clean
- Once brownies are done, remove from oven, allow to cool and drizzle with melted chocolate if desired
